The game is great, the musics, graphics, and story are all great. But what really stood out to me are a few certain boss fights. Throughout the game you'll fight a guy who has the same abilities as you (he has the same class), and those fights are brutal, but optional. If you lose, you're just a loser- you don't die, and you have to manually reload to try again. Fighting against him actually gave me a breakthrough in learning how to play. He was wiping the floor with me by use of powerful counter-attacks (IIRC), and I had to pick up a new skill (both me, the player, and my character), and then it was amazing. I started using these powerful counter-attacks myself- I would see him start to rush at me, then throw up a guard and do devastating damage. This made the fights even more exciting.
This game is great. It gives you problems, not puzzles. You never have to follow the developer's wacky logic, you only have to pay attention and use what you have available.
The version of this game on Steam got an update that gave it widescreen support, but the GOG version still hasn't. I don't think it ever will. If you get this, you'll need to download a patch to give it widescreen. Also, there's a mod that adds a lot of lost content that didn't make it into the game.
